HC Deb 16 March 1982 vol 20 cc56-7W
Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Trade how much polychlorinated biphenyl has been imported into the United Kingdom.

Mr. Peter Rees

I regret that reliable information is not available. Polychlorinated biphenyls are not separately distinguished in the Overseas Trade Statistics of the United Kingdom, nor is there any means of identifying imports incorporated in electrical or other appliances.
